Chapter 89 Cut each meal in half

If Gu Xingzhao didn't know the people from the Lu family and hadn't spent this month with them, she wouldn't care about the life and death of people who lived one or two thousand years ago and only existed in history books.

But now these people have become part of my world.

The loyal and courageous old man, the straightforward and lovely Lu Xingyao, the sickly but tenacious Lu Xingyan, the kind-hearted and caring Song, the seemingly strong but actually soft-hearted Xu, the seemingly dull but actually caring Lu Zhou, and the frivolous Lu Yang all day long.

Gu Xingzhao felt that he couldn't bear to see them eventually heading towards the dead end described in the book.

The system also said that there was no more official historical evidence to prove it, it was just unofficial history, things depended on human effort, and besides, his own existence had already changed some things. Perhaps as long as he could escort these people safely to Huaibei, he could change the predetermined future.

The next day, the Lu family got up early and ate the bread sent by their ancestor last night and oatmeal soaked in hot water. The bread was soft in the mouth, the oatmeal had a rich milky flavor, and their stomachs felt warm and comfortable.

Song bit into the honey-flavored bread while talking to Xu, "This bun is really delicious, it melts in your mouth, unlike the dry food given by the officials, which is cold, hard and unpalatable."

Thinking of the dry food, she tightened her grip on the bread in her hand. The things sent by her ancestors were still delicious.

The Lu family has always had a rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. The Song family comes from a scholarly family, and the family used to be stricter, but now everyone is in trouble outside, and this rule has long been thrown to the wind.

What's more, the things sent by the ancestors are so delicious, how can anyone resist them.

Mrs. Xu took care of her daughter while she was eating, and she echoed Mrs. Song's words, "Youtang loves sweet food, this really suits her appetite."

At this time, Lu Youtang had already eaten a piece of bread and two bowls of cereal. She wanted to eat more, but Xu refused to give her any more.

It will be troublesome if children eat without restraint and feel uncomfortable later.

At this time, Song stared at her niece for a long time, "Why do I feel that Youtang seems to have gained a lot of weight compared to a month ago?"

Mrs. Xu quickly covered her daughter's ears and coughed softly, "Sister-in-law, you must have seen it wrong. How could it be? Children of this age look fat and chubby. Besides, everyone is busy on the road, how could they be fat!"

She said that, but she felt uneasy inside. Her daughter is already concerned about her appearance at this age. If she knew that she had gained weight, she would probably refuse to eat.

Song stopped staring at her niece.

On the day of the journey, the Lu family members were in high spirits because the shoes on their feet were very comfortable. They could not contain their excitement and talked among themselves in low voices.

"They say new shoes will rub your feet, but the shoes our ancestors gave us are so soft and comfortable that they don't rub at all!"

The tribesmen next to him echoed with joy on their faces, "Yes, the shoes are light, and walking is not difficult."

"I never thought that I could wear such nice shoes even in this situation."

"Who says it's not true? Others are lucky to have a pair of shoes at this time. How can they buy new shoes?"

Lu Xingyao's face was filled with pride, "Because we have a powerful ancestor!"

When the tribesmen nearby heard this, they all started to praise him, one more than the other, for fear that if they didn't praise enough, all the ancestor's favor would be taken by Lu Xingyao alone. They all wanted to share a little of the ancestor's love and care.

Song looked at her son and discovered that not only her niece Lu Youtang had gained weight, her son had gained weight as well. Other members of the Lu family had also gained weight visibly, especially her brother-in-law Lu Xingyan, who was the most obvious.

When I left the city a month ago, I was so thin and my face was so pale. I coughed from day to night, and it seemed like a gust of wind could blow me away. Look at me now, my face is rosy and I can even walk with the help of an old man!

If you think about it carefully, in the past month, the ancestors have been sending me things such as fish and meat, so it is inevitable that I will get fat.

Everyone is in a hurry on their way, but the people of the Lu family have gained weight, which will inevitably arouse jealousy and may cause trouble.

Song frowned, found Lu Qing, and expressed her concerns.

After listening to his eldest daughter-in-law's concerns, Lu Qing realized that everyone in his Lu family had gained weight to some extent, especially his three sons and eldest grandson.

This won't do!

He immediately called his three sons and grandsons to him and said in a serious tone, "From today on, the amount of each of your meals will be reduced by half. You three are the elders, and you must set an example in front of the clan members."

Several people were struck by lightning, and their appetite was reduced by half! ?

Lu Zhou's heart skipped a beat. "Father, have we offended our ancestors? Our ancestors..."

Lu Qing immediately interrupted his eldest son and did not allow him to speculate about the ancestors. "Don't let your imagination run wild. The ancestors didn't say anything. It's just that you eat too much. Look at other people's families who are skinny and skinny, but you are getting fatter and fatter!"

Lu Xingyan lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. He had a good appetite recently and had gained weight without noticing.

Lu Xingyao touched his face and felt that it was okay. Everyone was wearing such thick clothes. As long as you didn't look at the face, how could you tell whether they were fat or thin?

Lu Yang originally wanted to take advantage of this exile to lose weight so that he could please his wife, but the things sent by the ancestors were so novel and delicious that he couldn't resist!

He smiled and said, "Father, this is all the kindness of our ancestors, how can I let it down?"

Lu Qing snorted coldly and stared at his second son. "Especially you. When you left Beijing, you could still see some bones on your face. Look at you now. How fat you are?"

Lu Yang curled his lips. Why did the old man still attack him personally?

Seeing that several people were being talked to, the other clansmen who could not hear had a bad feeling.

Du Hangwu's men kept an eye on the Lu family's every move. They learned that the Lu family was traveling faster today than yesterday. They soon discovered that every member of the Lu family had a pair of new shoes, even the Liu family had one!

"Boss, those shoes look comfortable to wear. They must be a gift from the gods!"

Du Hangwu glanced at his men. It didn't take any thought to know that this was a gift from the god of the Lu family in this remote place. Did you need to tell him?

Another colleague stared at the worn-out shoes on his feet, and said with a sour tone, "The Lu family is really something. They don't even know how to use their good things to honor our boss."

"That's right, you're really ignorant."

"If other families have something good, which one wouldn't give it to us first?"

"If you ask me, it's because we've been too nice to others lately."

Du Hangwu naturally knew what these people were thinking. They flattered him as the boss just because they wanted to take advantage of him.

He said in a deep voice, "If you don't speak carefully, you may be struck by lightning."

Several of his men dared not say a word.

Du Hangwu appeared to be indifferent about the Lu family wearing new shoes, but he was itching to change them in his heart. Not to mention his subordinates who wanted new shoes, he had wanted to change the pair on his feet for a long time. But he had

just asked someone for a magic medicine a few days ago. Now he was asking for shoes again. Wouldn't it make him look shameless?
